MORO ROCK 7/2
MORO ROCK at 7/2, Sara Ender and Harry Bannister, looks the most likely of these. He has had 3 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 27f today where he wins and his mark is 4lb lower for it, handles the ground, with a win from 13 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is weakened last time.
EAST EAGLE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 87 and runs off 93 — up 6lb.
The main danger is LUMINARIES at 4/1 (well handicapped).
